Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last . " People asked an 89 year old man " why do you regret the most doing in your life " ? to that he answered " Worrying about things that never happened " yet many of us make our choices based on what we think it will happened if we do it otherwise or what people tells us it will happened . I remember when I came to the United states and one relative knowing that I was a Sabbath keeper he told me that it was impossible to survive here if I did not work on the Sabbath , well started working on Sabbaths because i was afraid of not making it here in the states . In 2006 I decided to quit my job and start going to church and God showed me that I did not have to work on Sabbaths , that he could provide for our needs . When I went to seminary , I have learned the lesson , and when someone said " in order to do good in classes at seminary , you have to sacrifice , your family or your health " by the grace of God I didnt sacrifice anything , I always made sure to spend time with family and I can say that God was there with me all the time . Jesus tells John in the book of revelation " Do not be afraid " but then he adds , I am the first and the last . So the reason we are not afraid is because Jesus is with us from beginning to end and he has showed us in the past that he is faithful and that we dont have to be afraid .Because he is the Alpha and the Omega , from beginning to end , he will be with us . So dont be afraid ! Many of our decisions are based on trying to avoid pain and suffering , but there is no guarantee that it will turn out the way we felt , besides , it is better to do what is right then do what is wrong even if we are rewarded by that , remember that God will take care of you . God bless !
